->> Everything works as intended (i think)
- it is possible to browse COPS in a browser
- I can download/read ePubs with ePubreader under Firefox (OSX 10.6.8)
- I can open an OPDS feed in Stanza and Shubook (iPad 3)
- I can download ePubs and read them with Stanza and Shubook

I did not change .htacces or fetch.php.

Does COPS even use X-Sendfile? (I repeat it's not on my system)

re metadate update: did not use it, but system does not crash or something like that when enabled.

X-Sendfile is used when your Calibre directory is outside your webdir otherwise it's not necessary.

If the Calibre directory is inside the webdirectory (almost) all works as intended. (X-Sendfile NOT installed, .htaccess NOT edited for X-Sendfile, config_local.php edited for X-Sendfile)

If the Calibre directory is outside the webdirectory and I link to it with an absolute path (/home/...../Calibre):
- browsing works
- downloading does not work
(X-Sendfile NOT installed, .htaccess NOT edited for X-Sendfile, config_local.php edited for X-Sendfile)

If the Calibre directory is outside the webdirectory, I install X-Sendfile and I link to it with an absolute path (/home/..../Calibre)
- browsing works
- downloading works
- in Stanza small covers are visible, but the cover in the screen with the summary before you can download is NOT visible. Download works fine.
[This is with Debian Squeeze, with Debian Wheezy all works: for both - xsendfile.conf edited for path to absolute directory. Newest version X-Sendfile installed.]

Problems solved:Debian Squeeze: by making a symlink so that the Calibre directory is inside the COPS directory.Windows: making an alias to COPS directory outside the webdir. Calibre directory is inside COPS directory.

In previous versions of COPS I saw no (speed) difference between using X-sendfile and "location". I only have relatively small ePub files.

About the speed difference with X-SendFile / normal : I used X-SendFile / X-Accel-Redirect just because webserver are better at sending files (it's their job) but with small file (most epub are around 1 Mo) there's no gain.

Hello. I just uploaded some new books to the Calibre directory on the COPS server, but I'm having trouble getting COPS to update the index. Even if I move the Calibre directory out of the way, the list of books is still the same as it was, so the index seems to be cached somewhere. Is there a file I would need to delete to make COPS recreate the index? (In case it matters, the Calibre directory is mounted from another machine over NFS).
